Gardeners in England hang them to flash in the sun and wind and keep birds off the vegetables.

They used to. Now they use DVDs instead. Higher capacity.

Is there a Freecycle where you live, or something similar. A mailing list where you give things away to people who want them.

They do that in the States too! My wife uses them in her kitchen garden and it keeps all the fauna away from her flora

These CDs have technical information on them, not of any use to anyone except engineers, and really not even useful for them.

Can I use them to build a monster and take over the civilized world?

I thought the biggest fauna, deers, ate mostly at dusk when there was no sun to flash off the CDs.
Do they eat at dawn too? Still, no direct sunlight.

Lots of things reflect without scaring birds, but reflecting lets birds know a CD is present. Humans might not know flying saucers were present if the ETs didn't turn on their flashing lights. Humans aren't scared of flashing lights. They're scared of unidentified flying objects.
Some people have no luck keeping deer away with CDs. I suppose they have to be hung where the deer will see them in the dark, and the location has to have enough wind to move them. I suppose the deer leave because it's an unidentified flying object.
Humans also tend to get uneasy when they encounter a moving object they can't account for in the dark.

You make a lot of good points. Doesn't the FAA require that the ETs use flashing lights when over USA-governed territory?

That's under Catch-22. ET's are required to travel by UFO, but if they turn on identification lights and transponders as required, they're no longer unidentified flying objects. Any ET who doesn't want to end up at GTMO had better retain a good lawyer.
I was not surprised to discover that the FAA's UFO regulations are under Section 8.
